Student Ministries

Welcome to The Rock — a youth group built on the unshakable foundation of Jesus Christ. Our name is inspired by the many places in the Bible where Jesus is referred to as a rock, symbolizing strength, stability, and refuge. In 1 Corinthians 10:4, Scripture declares, “the rock was Christ,” reminding us that Jesus is our spiritual foundation and the source of living water. Just as a rock stands firm against the storms, we believe a life rooted in Jesus provides unwavering hope and direction. At The Rock, we seek to grow in our faith, build meaningful friendships, and stand strong together as we follow the One who is our fortress and salvation.


Wednesday Nights

Wednesday Nights at The Rock are all about connection, growth, and having fun—all centered around Jesus. Each week kicks off with open gym time, giving everyone a chance to hang out, play, and build friendships. After that, we enjoy a free dinner together—because community grows best around the table. The night continues with games and activities that bring laughter and unity, followed by a time of worship where we lift up the name of Jesus, our Rock and foundation. Then we dive into a message rooted in Scripture, focused on helping us know Jesus more and live out our faith. We finish the night in small group discussions, where we get real, ask questions, and encourage each other in our journey as disciples. Whether you're just checking things out or looking to go deeper in your walk with Christ, Wednesday nights at The Rock are a place to belong, grow, and stand strong together.


CURRENT TEACHING SERIES: THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT

Right now at The Rock, we're diving into one of Jesus’ most powerful teachings — the Sermon on the Mount, found in the Gospel of Matthew, chapters 5–7. In this series, we’re exploring what it really means to live as part of God’s Kingdom: from the Beatitudes to loving our enemies, from prayer to building our lives on a firm foundation. Jesus' words are challenging, inspiring, and deeply personal—and they speak directly to the world we’re living in today. Each week, we’re unpacking His message together, learning how to follow Him not just on Wednesdays, but every day. Come be part of the conversation and grow with us as we learn to live the way of Jesus!

Join us on Wednesday as we celebrate our amazing graduating seniors and all that God has done in their lives! Grad Night is a special evening where we honor their journey, reflect on memories, and look ahead with excitement to what’s next. We’ll share stories, give out some fun surprises, and speak words of encouragement and blessing over each grad as they take this next step. Whether you're a senior, a friend, or part of our youth family, come be part of this meaningful night as we cheer on our grads and remind them that no matter where life takes them, Jesus is their Rock—steady, faithful, and with them every step of the way.


JUNE 1st - GRAD SUNDAY CELEBRATION

Come celebrate with us on Sunday June 1st as we honor the incredible seniors in our youth group! This is a special moment for our entire church family to recognize their hard work, growth, and the exciting new chapter ahead. During the service, we’ll take time to highlight each graduate, pray over them, and celebrate God’s faithfulness in their lives. Families, friends, and the whole congregation are invited to join us in showing love and support as we send them off with encouragement and hope. As they step into the future, we stand with them—reminding them that no matter where they go, their foundation is in Christ, the Rock who never changes.
